Gogyohka Japanese Poem

A chapter in the book Tanka Collection

Loon's Melancholic Songs

by Gypsy Blue Rose


 
 
in the longest night of winter,
loon sings melancholic songs
drizzled with anguish-filled notes —
in solidarity,
I drench my pillow crying along

Fiction

Loons make a mournful sound. When darkness falls, Loons make wolf-like wails that are haunting

GOGYOHKA is a five-line free-style Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllables count but as brief as possible. Any theme. Lines are grammatically connected. Alliteration, personification, and metaphor are okay but never rhyme. Japanese poets have written gogyohka since the 1910s. However, they did not name the form until 1983 by poet Enta Kusakabe. wikipediafor more info click here

Thank you for taking the time to read and review my poem.
